Say 'kids,' have you ever
thought ol consulting your News
Nugget and Krater to help you
do your.. Christmas ..Shopping?
That's fiRht. you know It Is a
very good Idea to buy from our
advertisers. If It weren't for these
people, it would not be possible
lor us to continue publishing the
newspapers at Klamath Union
High School! How about being
prudent this year and shop the
clothing stores that advertise in
our papers, or the sporting goods
stores, or whatever else you may
wish to buy. Did you know that
practically anything you may want
is advertised in our school pa
pers, the Klamath Krater and News
Nugget?
You all want a good quality
newspaper, and you also want
Klamath Union High School to have
a good reputation, and you the stu
dents can help your school achieve
both of those goals by doing one
thing, making all your purchases
with the generous merchants of
the Klamath Basin, who advertise
in our publications.
One thing more when you go
into the various stores in Klamath
Falls, please don't think you are
the only persons in the store be
cause you are not. there happens
to bo about 28.400 other citizens
in this community and they want
to be served Just as badly as you.
so wait your turn. If it should be
In a crowded store and you have
more shopping to do, go ahead and
do the remainder of your shopping,
and then come back to the crowd
ed store later. If you do all these
things everyone will have a Merry
Christmas.

Another Yuletide is upon us and
this year, as you all know, is the
first Christmas the News Nugget
1 has been in existence.
During the nine months of the
Nugget history, we have made a
number of improvements and
changes. Our first big feature was
the first annual Valentine Feature,
Miss Heart Throb. We published
our first banner headline in the
fourth News Nugcet, March 4. The
second nameplate was Initiated
March 11. We used this familiar
nameplate until last week. Tnis
year we have added a radio pro
gram to the agenda, which is
heard over KFLW every Saturday
at 6:15 p.m. The cartoons that are
drawn by "Ginger" McK'nna,
which you have probably seen in
our newspaper are also new this
year.
These improvements could not
have been made without the co
operation of Mr. Frank Jenkins,
owner and publisher of the Herald
and News: Mr. BUI Jenkin?. man
aging editor; Mr. Max Wauchope.
cuy editor: and all the rest of
the Herald and News staff. We
also thank Mr. Bud Chandler, man
rigor of KFLW: and Mr. Charlie
McFarlan. producer of the News
Xuccrts.
To all nf these helpful people
By BEV DORAN
Every year the birth of Christ
Is celebrated in the most popular
of all christian festivals. It is
festival for the young, and the
young jn heart. This holiday is one
to be gay and festive. For the
young this means Santa Claus. For
the young in heart this means they
become Santa Claus.
There are some unfortunate chil
dren in tills world who don't have
Ihe Joy of seeing all the presents
that Santa has left for them under
their Christmas tree, and perhaos
there are some children who won't
even have a Christmas tree to look
at and admire.
Why don't you do something
about this unfortunate condition on
Christmas? Why don't you make
at least "one group of children hap
py? If all tlie organizations of this
city would take one group of chil
dren and furnish them with pres
ents and trees, just think how hap
py this Christmas would be.
Why leave it up to the hlph school
kids only to try and assist the
unfortunate? Bring the issue be
fore your organization or group.
Remember the wise men who
brought gifts to the newborn King?
Be like these wise men and bring
gifts to the unfortunate people in
Klamath Falls.
Make this the most glorious and
happy Christmas, since Christ was
born!
This staff wants to wish you
each the happiest and merriest of
all Christmases.

DEMOCRACY
Editor's Note: This Is the third
of a series in which a Klamath
I'nlon High student speaks through
the media of a radio-essay in voic
ing adolescent opinion on the all
Important su'-fect of Democracy.
The f-IIov'njr !ript was written
by Mura Loomls, a Junior, and
was submitted in the recent Klam
ath Junior Chamber of Commerce
sponsored "Voice of Democracy"
contest, supervised this year b
Java ui'sruein.
Editor's Note: The following
poem was mislaid by a beginning
Journalism student, who probab
ly Is frantically searching for It
at this very moment, since It was
part of an assignment. This poor
unsuspecting Senior will be re
lieved to see it in print this Sun
day, and thus escape a "5" for
we're sure our faculty adviser

Nasy old winter with winds so cold.
Of course, at first I would catch
a coldt
At once into my icy bed I pile.
To try to go to sleep for a while.
With linty "Kleenex" very well
supplied.
And cough syrup and drugs at my
side.
When I have guests, I ask them to
leave.
Turn over a while and try to
breathe.
Little virus that caused this cold,
Will you be with me until I am
old?
With running nose and plugged up
head,
At this moment, I wish I were
dead!

T'was a cold, cold night.
And as I by in bed.
I could hear the mice a prowling
In the altle 'bove my head.
Th frost was on the window.
The snow was on the around.
There rani'- a wail and barking
Of someone's dam old hound.
Mv feet were cold like Icicles.
And I was turning blue.
It seemed as Uiough I never would
Oct warm clean through and
through
In the other room my brother
iav snoring peacefully
With five or six big blankets on,
While I had only three.
My sister just had gotten home.
I heard her sneaking In.
She thought that she would get
away
With being late again.
But when she finally crawled In
bed
There was an awful 'heller.'
For she laid upon our old Tomcat.
Who usually slept In the cellar.
Well. Mom and Dad bolh gave a
shout.
And Sis went down the stairs.
Hoy! Did she get a bawling out!
Well, you know how It scares
A person, -vhen he's been awak
ened
By the screeching of a cat. who
sounds
As If he just succeeded in catch
ing a rat.
So now you know what It's like
At my house.
This goes on most every night:
'o I advise you not to stay with
me.
If you want to sleep tight.

I speak for Democracy. In a
'.and such as ours it is difficult to
visualize any type of government
other than the one that is now in
existence. We love our nation and
all for which it stands, but how
often do we pause to really ap
preciate Democracy and the ideals
It implies?
Many years ago men who loved
liberty and wanted a democratic
type of government fought for
these rights, which they thought
all men were entitled to. Many
months and years the war for
rights was fought. Many men lost
their lives for a cause which to
them was supreme. The roots of
Democracy waited long to bury
their way into our nation, but now
they are deeply engraved on our
way of life. Our ancestors gave to
us this wonderful freedom. But it
is still our duty to see that a
democratic government will exist
forever.
Democracy Is not a part time
Job. Every true American has the
responsibility to maintain and to
reserve the Constitution and De
mocracy. First, understand your
government and be Interested in
its happenings. Make sure to make
